The Hyper-V Amigos Chat at the Grand Canyon
My friend Didier and I were two weeks in the US to attend two great events – the VeeamON Conference at the end of October in Las Vegas and the Microsoft MVP Summit at the beginning of November in Redmond. Between those two exiting weeks Didier and I visited the Grand Canyon. Boy is this hole in the ground impressive. So we decided to make a video in front of this beautiful nature and of course talk about technical stuff. Because the view is so great we went to three different places to get the different angles on the Canyon.
Listen to us talking about VeeamON (till 9:17) and different Windows Server 2016 features. We wish you as much fun as we had making this video.

Hyper-V Amigos Showcast Episode 8: Storage Replica in a Streched Cluster
In this Episode Didier and Carsten show a new great feature in Windows Server vNext: Storage Replication. With this feature it is possible to replicate a Volume between two Storage systems. There is a synchronous and a asynchronous Version that allows you to replicate between Volumes of two Servers, between two Clusters or in a Stretched Cluster Scenario. Didier has done already a video that demonstrate the Server to Server replication so we focus in this Showcast on the Stretched Cluster scenario.
We hope you enjoy this Showcast and learn a bit about this promising feature.
